This needs to be gated by nrips being enabled _and_ exposed to L1, i.e.

	if (svm->nrips_enabled)
		vmcb02->control.next_rip    = svm->nested.ctl.next_rip;

though I don't see any reason to add the condition to the copy to/from cache flows.

I don't know why this struct has

	u8 reserved_sw[32];

but presumably it's for padding, i.e. probably should be reduced to 24 bytes.
